So DP cannot agree on this.
We are replacing our old and wrecked carpets. We'll have plain carpets in the bedrooms and upstairs hallway and landing. Stair runner will be in a complementary colour but striped to better hide dirt and marks given it's a high traffic area.
DP and I can't agree on the square landing bit (see question mark in the diagram). I and the carpet shop see this as an extension of the hallway so it should be in the plain carpet. So looking down the hallway, it's one continuation of plain carpet.
DP believes the landing should be an extension of the stair runner. So looking at it from the hallway or the adjoining room, it will be plain down to the three steps then abruptly turn into stripes. I don't think this makes aesthetic sense.
So we're turning to the Mumsnet jury to see what you think! I can only find pictures on the internet where the landing and hallway carpet matches and the stair runner starts from the first tread. However, would love to hear if others have done as DP suggests and it looks good/makes sense.
Sorry to be so dull but we need to find a resolution to carpetgate so we can make a decision. Can't live with the old carpet anymore!
AIBU = landing should be striped to match stair runner
AINBU = landing and hallway carpet should match
Thank you!
